BATTERY by Metallica

From the album "Master of Puppets"

There's about half a dozen guitar parts on the intro where Jaymz

layered acoustics, steel strings, spanish guitars and god knows what else.

One acoustic plays riff 1 and the rest of the layered guitars play along

the lines of riff 2 (I Think)

Acoustic Riff 1

Start with Acoustic Riff 1 once and then while that keeps playing Gtr II plays

Weak are ripped and torn away

Lashing out the action, returning the reaction

Weak are ripped and torn away

Hipnotizing power, crushing all that cower

Battery is here to stay

With Fill 1

E5 C5

Smashing through the boundrys, lunacy has found me

F5 F5 F#/Eb

Cannot stop the battery

Riff 3

With Fill 1

E5 C5

Pounding out agression, turned into obsession

F5 F5 F#/Eb

Cannot stop the battery

Riff 3 (first 2 bars)

E5 B5 G5 F#/Eb

Cannot kill the family, battery has grounded me

Riff 3 (first 3 bars)|

Bb5 F5 E5 | Play this several

Bat-ter-y | times and then back to the next verse

verses

Crushing all decievers, mashing non-believers

Never ending potency

Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker

Breeding on insanity

Chorus

Circle of destruction, hammer comes crushing

Powerhouse of energy

Whipping up a fury, dominating flurry

We create the battery

Chorus

I think this is pretty close. I'm not sure about the names of the

funny chords though (marked ??) I'm not too hot on theory!! :)
